Inspired by a tradition that is part of the Maisonâs history, Chaumet introduces a signature-style jewel that is airy and confidently modern.

A symbol of attachment and affection, Chaumet’s ‘Liens’ collection expresses stunning creativity and design with this beautiful cuff bracelet.

We’re in love with the subtle, graphic design represented by two parallel ties that delicately surround the wrist and cross-over to depict the collectionâs iconic motif.

These pure lines create a precious interlacing pattern on the skin. Not only that but the grey gold bracelet is entirely set with diamonds and secured with two delicately crossed tie motifs. The pink gold bracelet is open and its central motif is set with diamonds. Swoon.

Two rings â one in white gold and the other in pink gold â echo the two bracelets with the same design and diamond setting.

Normcore? Officially over. Same too for string bikinis and, erm, zoo jeans (jeans ‘distressed’ by lions, apparently). That is, according to the all-knowing Google search engine, which released its first fashion trends report this year, with plans to release data on what our sartorial searches say about us twice a year.

First up, the data. According to the report these are top fashion searches of the year:

Neoprene swimsuit

Emoji shirt

Jogger pants

Kale sweatshirt

High neck bikini top

Midi skirt

Tulle skirt

Waist trainer

White jumpsuit

Romper

Palazzo pants

High-waisted bikini

And these are the ones that are on the decline.

Normcore fashion

One-shoulder dresses

String bikini

Vintage clothing

Skinny jeans

Scarf vest

Zoo jeans

The Google report is an example of the company’s extensionÂ into Ecommerce. A move that comes as two of the biggest online retailers, Net-a-Porter and Yoox join forces.

Lisa Green, who heads Googleâs fashion and luxury teamÂ told The New York Times that sheÂ had begun working with brands such asÂ Calvin Klein, to help them incorporate real-time Google search data into theirÂ planning and forecasting. The data will be particularly useful for fast fashion brands, who, as Green told the New York Times, “take a trend identified by Google and run with it.”

âWeâre interested in being powerful digital consultants for our brands, not just somebody they can talk to about what ads they can buy online,â Green said.

âThey can say, âGoogle has identified this as a trend, and we have six weeks to get this out on the racks.âÂ â

Fashion and product searches are also incredibly important to Google’s ad selling business – and there are a lot of people researching their fashion (or, it must be said, trying to figure what the hell zoo jeans are). Six billion fashion searches, in fact.

The value of data – and analysis of said data – is crucial as fashion speeds ever faster, and trend forecasting becomes less gut feel and more cold, hard, sellable facts.
